WORKMEN UNPACK AND PACK, PACK AND UNPACK BRIDGE

With catlike tread, and with deft fingers, workmen have been engaged for the past several days in clambering about a raft moored in the middle of the Charles, and in stufllng oakum into the Weeks Bridge. The bridge has apparently developed some sort of weakness of the joints, and quantities of oakum are needed to prevent its collapse under the dainty feet of the Cadets. Due to the presence of heating pipes inside, the laborers game of ring around a rosy consists of opening the bridge up completely every morning, working for a short time on the interior, and then carefully closing all apertures in order that the pipes will not catch cold at night.
